This nine-month PGCert is for assessment leads who must prove who sat the exam when the student is in a kitchen in Inverness or a flat in Leith. University of Brigant’s dual pathway makes identity-checked assessment a core operation, not a panic plugin. Fifteen credits, Edinburgh or tuition-free online, same standard. You will design policies that are lawful, accessible, and honest about residual impersonation risk. No vendor lock-in as a learning outcome. No spyware framing. Dual-pathway students on this PGCert sit the same protocol-writing assessments whether they can reach Edinburgh or not. Fifteen credits over nine months.
Interactive modules, weekly readings, recorded and live seminars, and collaborative discussions with peers worldwide.
Module assignments, proctored examinations, and capstone projects designed to demonstrate mastery of the field.
Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 9 months. Teaching language: English (dual pathway: Edinburgh campus or tuition-free online; one academic standard). Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. Pulse College publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
